Purdue University Global - BA IT Bunch of Changes

[dfrecore]

Because I asked, I know that IT244 will not work for IT Management (Sophia Python) -- I'm told it's because it's a three-credit class rather than five or six. You could do Project+ (not a hard cert -- I passed it in about a week), which would give you IT401 -- which will work for the IT Management concentration -- as well as not needing to do Sophia for IT301.

Sophia courses convert from the semester system to the quarter system (just like any other course would do): multiply 3cr x 3/2 = 4.5qcr.  But they generally just round up and bring in 3cr courses as 5qcr; and I know this because my daughter goes there, and transferred in tons of credit including a Sophia course, and they gave her a rounded up amount of credits for every course she brought in.  You can also see that they give it 4.5qcr here: https://purdueglobal.sophia.org/?_gl=1*1.....#courses

So no, the person who told you that info is wrong.

There's probably another reason entirely that it won't work for that degree; I'm going to guess, based on the equivalency that they gave the course, that it's because it's a smidge lower level than the course they require for the degree, and that it just doesn't meet the requirements of the course.  Simple as that.
